Isn’t Valentine’s Day fun when you have kids? (Especially since The Husband and I are kind of past that Valentine’s Day exchange in our relationship.) So it was nice to pair up this cute book with a Valentine’s Day recipe.

The reason that I like this book so much is that it teaches children to come up with something special about each person they are giving a Valentine. I think we live in such a “do it because we have to” age that we’ve become almost immune to thinking about why we do things. This would be a great book to pair up with your kids giving out Valentine cards and also asking them to say one nice thing about everyone they are making a card.

2. Prepare brownies according to package direction and pour into baking pan.

3. Before baking, place marshmallow hearts on top of batter. You will have 3 columns of 3 hearts, or 4 columns of 3 hearts (depending on how you place them). Remember to space them far enough apart that they can melt!

4. Push the marshmallows down gently into the batter (but do not cover with batter).

5. Bake brownies for 35 minutes (or according to package directions). If marshmallows start to get too brown before the brownies are baked, place a piece of aluminum foil over the top until the end of the baking time.
